There was an instructor in my town that was in the same org as me, and he used to wear his gi out in public all the time with like a drill top over his gi top and his belt tucked in...
Sometimes, after a seminar (LOL) we'd all go to the pub afterwards and he'd survey the area and if there were no hard-looking blokes around, he'd pull the ends of his black belt out and tuck his thumbs into his belt. For maximum effect.

He also had a ginger mullet and a baby mustache.

Seriously? There were guys like that I used to train with back in my Chun days. I still see them about and am surprised to see them still breathing.
